Today the beta version of the PDF Content Blueprinting Tool was finished. Academic Partnerships has developed the tool as part of its Faculty eCommons, a social learning community for faculty that will be available soon.
The official release of the tool will take place at an upcoming Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education (SITE) conference.

PDF Assignment Builder videos surpass 15,000 views
Both the original PDF Assignment Builder and the newer PDF Assignment Builder 3.0 continue to add new views. In the year that it has been posted, the PDF AB3 has averaged 670 views per month!
The PDF Assignment Builder allows users to cut and paste information from any word processor into Adobe Reader. The field into which the information is pasted is dynamic--it will grow in size to accommodate 100 lines, or 100 pages. Users will be able to save the PDF form and send it to another user. The form will remain writable, editable, printable and savable.
The PDF Assignment Builder 3.0 allows instructors to create question and answer fields, as well as editable Title and Instruction fields. The question fields are numbered automatically, and specific instructions can be entered into the answer fields, and then typed over by students. Before the form is sent to students, the Title, Instruction and Answer fields are "locked" by changing their type to "read only".
Might be time for a new version. Anyone interested in collaborating?

PDF-based GrantSAT Tool
At the request of an instructor that uses the GrantSAT instrument in her course, I've created a PDF-based tool that automates the process of scoring the 75 different criteria that GrantSAT uses to rate a grant proposal. The video is on YouTube and the file can be downloaded from the FACT website.
